I need information on how to get a corrected card for a foreign-born US citizen child.
Have you changed your child's name recently?
Yes, I have.
then you have to inform Social Security so that your child can get a corrected card.
Can I use photocopies of the documents required?
No, only originals or certified copies.
================
what if the documents I have as proof of my child's name change are not enough to identify him on your records?
Then you have to provide us a legal document with your child's previous name as shown in our records.
what if I don't have a document with his old name?
Then, we can accept an unexpired document with your child's new name if it contains enough information to identify your child on our records.
what would be an acceptable document to identify him?
Any document that shows his name, identifying information, age, date of birth or parents' names, and preferably a recent photograph.
